We're in the middle of Disability Voting Rights Week! As you start making your voting plan for the November election, we want to help by sharing information about your options for returning your ballot if you want or need to vote using the ballot that is mailed to you.
This is a brand new video that we are excited to share! It walks through your three return options for your mail ballot and provides practical tips. You can also check out the video on our YouTube channel where we have versions in English and American Sign Language (ASL).

If you have a disability, you are allowed to receive help with voting, including returning your ballot. If you have questions or are having difficulty voting because of a disability, DRC's hotline for California voters with disabilities is open year-round on weekdays during business hours (9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.) (and longer hours on Election Day). Call us at (888) 569-7955.
When we vote, we make decisions that impact the lives of everyone around us. Voters with disabilities, like all voters, have a right to vote for who represents us, how taxes are spent, and more. You should not face discrimination in the voting process simply because you have a disability. Make your vote count by this Election Day (November 3)!
We will continue to share voting resources on DRC social media as Election Day gets closer!
